thai essence

close up portrait of Be

This is a selection of portraits taken in 2021 during my collaboration with Orticolario as official photographer. Shot amidst the timeless beauty of Jim Thompson House Museum in Bangkok, Thailand, this project captures the dynamic essence of Thai culture within the lush embrace of nature.

As the dancers gracefully move through the museum's gardens, their rhythmic elegance seamlessly melts into the natural surroundings. Each portrait not only freezes the dancers in a moment of captivating motion but also showcases their harmonious integration with the verdant landscape. The performers, like living brushstrokes, paint their stories against the backdrop of Jim Thompson's botanical haven.

From the subtle nuances of facial expressions to the poetry of hand movements, the project aims to encapsulate the vibrant stories told through the lens of each dancer, providing viewers with a visual journey into the heart of Thai dance culture.
